Unity

This is another of my poems/writings, written very early in the morning and re-drafted a few times before finally I was happy with it:

Unity,

What was that?

Unity!

Oh, we will have to pay for that,

It is not the cost that worries me,

It is the outcome that matters,

We will not pay with lives.

As in war and in peacetime,

Nor in money as in the current monetary-market system,

But we will pay in time,

With strength, effort, thought,

Intelligence, idea, speech, rationality and the arts,

The message of unity will be paid for in full,

And the benefits will be for everyone on this Earth,

To live, for free.

The Tao Te Ching (Laozi) II

This is another chapter of the Laozi that stands out for me. I hope you find it interesting and remember to read into the context;

Chapter 56 (第五十六章):

Those who know talks not,

Those who talks knows not,

Blockading its exchanges,

Confining its ideals,

Moderating its ingenuity,

Unravelling its complexity,

Softening its intensity,

Is but merging into its ubiquity,

That is the intricacy of ubiquity,

Cannot be possessed for hate,

Cannot be possessed for profit,

Cannot be possessed for harm,

Cannot be possessed for respect,

Cannot be possessed for despise,

Therefore it is respected by the universe.

The Zeitgeist Trilogy

The Zeitgeist Movie is the first of the three documentaries. You can watch these on youtube, Zeitgeist: Addendum is the second movie released by Peter Joseph - director and producer. The newest in of the three is called Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. The purpose is to introduce people to what is really going on around us in the world today and to a solution - The Venus Project. The Venus Project was created in the mind of Jacques Fresco - Inventor, scientist, social engineer and more.

You can find out more information on these websites;

If you find anything hard to understand or like me you might at first begin to feel like your world is being turned upside down, don't worry about it, once you awaken from your slumber you will realise that we actually can make the world a better place. Let's be the change that we want to happen.

Enter Shikari

Something I came across recently was Enter Shikari's 2009 album "Common Dreads"

I had no idea at first how politically orientated the album would be, I have been a fan of them for a long time anyway but I just hadn't kept up to date.

Something to get you in the mood for some activism ^^.

So here is a link to a song of there's, I'm sure if you haven't heard it before that you will enjoy it (if you are into this kind of music).
